Thurrock CVS

Thurrock CVS TCVS is an infrastructure organisation that supports voluntary and community based organisations

Much of the work that CVS does focuses on several key areas:-

• Services and support;
• Development work;
• Liaison;
• Representation;
• Strategic partnerships

Thurrock CVS provides support in the form of funding advice, training, access to meeting rooms and equipment, newsletters and specialist services. It encourages networking between individuals and groups within the sector, and between

local groups and the statutory and private sectors. Groups can learn from each other, establish contacts and work more effectively.

What a transformation! A huge thank you to the amazing team from the Port Health Authority for giving their time and energy to revitalise the Beehive Centre garden as part of an Employee Supported Volunteering Day 🌿

From clearing weeds and cutting back overgrown shrubs to tidying borders, the team worked tirelessly to turn an overgrown space into a beautiful, summer-ready garden for everyone to enjoy.

Interested in organising a staff volunteering day or need extra helping hands for a community project? Get in touch with us at [email protected].

This Pride Month, we want to remind you that Thurrock CVS and the Beehive Resource Centre is for everyone! 🏳️‍🌈

We have been proud to support the Thurrock LGBT+ Network from the get-go. Mark, our CEO, talks about our relationship with the Network and the work we have put into making The Beehive a safe space for everyone in our community. That is something we genuinely care about, not just in June, but all year round.

And if you are celebrating this weekend, Thurrock Pride is on this Saturday! Join the Pre-Pride Brunch at The Wharf in Grays from 11am to 12.30pm, or catch the parade departing The Wharf at 12.15pm. We hope to see you there! ⭐️
